iphone unable to send text messeges to certain numbers

Iphone unable to send text messeges to certain numbers!?
location: macrumors.com - date: August 19, 2009
For some reason I have not been able to text certain verizon numbers since Sunday. My girlfriend is the main person I'm having this problem with and every time I text her I get the message, "error invalid number please re-send using valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code." She can send me texts and she can receive texts from any phone but an iphone. I say this because I have used my iphone, my brothers and also a friends iphone and all of them come back with the same message. if I use other phones it comes through just fine. I have searched and tired everything from reformatting my iphone, resetting network settings, deleting the contact info multiple times and ways, and I even had a new sim card put in. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem? post reply

apple bluetooth keyboard w/iPhone 4 -- SEND text message?
location: apple.com - date: January 10, 2011
How do I hit the "send" button when I'm using the wireless keyboard with my iPhone? I can use all of the text functions. I tried "command-return", etc... thinking that that was a shortcut. Didn't work. Does anyone know how, besides the obvious "press the send button on the iphone"? Sure, I can do that, but I want to do it with the external bluetooth keyboard!post reply

iPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.
location: apple.com - date: September 25, 2012
Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date &amp; time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this. post reply

Jailbroken iPhone 3GS iOS 6 can't send text messages
location: imore.com - date: October 29, 2012
Hey guys! Real noob here!
I have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS with iOS 6. I restored my phone to factory settings with iOS 4 and baseband of 6.15 (iPad baseband, right?). I then updated it to iOS 6, but can't get past the activation since it keeps telling me that it can't detect a sim card and it's "temporarily unavailable" when activating through the phone. I read that I might need to jailbreak it in order to get past this and unlock my phone. I did (and downgraded it to 5.14.04 with redsn0w since I found out that this was causing my low bars for service and other problems) , and was able to get past the activation, but can't get service. It says 'No Service' when I'm supposed to have service. I then followed a guide to download ultrasn0w fix and ultrasn0w in order to unlock my device. It worked for me (was soon surprised that it wasn't supposed to work with the redsn0w downgrade) and was able to get service. I was able to receive and make calls, but wasn't able topost reply

iPhone 5 Failure to Send Text Messages Occur Often....
location: macrumors.com - date: October 15, 2012
So with the iPhone 5 on the Sprint network it seems that when I send text messages, I get the failure to send/retry message often. Anyone else seeing this on Sprint or any other networks?
Here is a thread on Sprint where others are going through this as well.

iphone "message send fail" BUT also says "sent as text message" - which is it?
location: apple.com - date: December 13, 2012
I've had "message send fail" in the past, and when I tap on the exclamation mark, it's easy to resend. I've also had text conversations with people on iphones where the message is sometimes "sent as text message" and so appears in green not blue (not sure what this means, whether it's over wi-fi or not, but as they always got and replied to the message, I'm not particularly fussed) But the last twice I tried to text one particular contact I've had the exclamation mark that says "message send fail" and also the green "sent as text message". I've never before had the combination, so I don't know how to tell if the message has been sent or not. As it's a work contact, I don't want to text multiple times but also don't want them not to get the message. Can anyone tell mpost reply

iPhone 5 bought in the USA does not send text messages in Russian networks
location: apple.com - date: September 25, 2012
When I was buying it in an American Apple Store the salesperson said that it will work fine with European, Russian and any other sim-cards. But in practice I have problems with sending SMS (voice calls, 3G and receiving messages work perfectly). Perhaps I should change the number of SMS center? Is there any way to do it?post reply

iPhone 5 Group Text Won't Send or Receive (and various other bugs)
location: macrumors.com - date: November 26, 2012
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and steadily there have been more and more bugs/glitches. It first started with me perpetually having one unread text message which won't go away (have gone through the whole thread and it still says unread and every time I open the messages app it scrolls to the thread with the "unread" message; can get annoying when you open the app to text someone else and it pops up a thread from another person). Also the volume during calls starts off really low for the first 10 seconds (and during the initial ringing) but then randomly fixes and increases.
Most recently I've had a problem where the Group Texting won't work; initially I couldn't send the text but now I can't receive texts from that thread either. If I turn my phone off and turn it back on I can send or receive ONE text but the next text gets stuck in the buffer. Also iMessage group texting works fine but if one person in the group doesn't have an ipost reply

Used Gevey Ultra S to unlock T-Mobile iPhone 4s, now can't send text messages
location: macrumors.com - date: June 28, 2012
I did this last Saturday and everything has been OK until today. Now, I can receive text messages but can't send them. Any advice would be helpful.
I contacted T-Mobile and they couldn't figure it out and referred me to Apple, who wants $29 for a one time call to try and figure this out. I will only do that as a last resort.
Thanks for any help you can provide.post reply
